Calculate Total Torque







Formula

The formula to calculate Total Torque is:

\[ T = T_1 \left( \frac{\omega_1}{\omega_2} - 1 \right) \]

Where:

Definition

Total Torque is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. Force is what causes an object to accelerate in linear kinematics.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ T = 17 \left( \frac{10}{12} - 1 \right) \]

Evaluating:

\[ T = -2.83333333333333 \text{ Nm} \]

The Total Torque is -2.83333333333333 Nm.
